271. IRS Secrets: How Safe Harbors & BAR Tests Maximize Tax Savings & Boost Real Estate Profits

In this episode, Ryan and Thomas explain how simply investing in rental real estate reduces your effective tax rate and puts you in a favorable position even without offsetting non-passive income (e.g., W-2 and active business income), including:

- A snapshot of the US Tax System.
- The critical role of depreciation in shielding income from tax.
- What is the effective tax rate calculated?
- How passive investors build "tax-free" income through real estate.
